I am outraged that Victoria University of Wellington has not yet banned the forced swim test
Magdalena
United Kingdom, Graduate
, 2012
Overall
I am outraged that Victoria University of Wellington has not yet banned the forced swim test, in which experimenters dose mice and rats with drugs and drop them into cylinders of water to watch how long they struggle. The modern scientific community – including huge pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Roche, AbbVie, and AstraZeneca – has moved past such barbaric tests. An educational facility such as Victoria University should be on the forefront of preparing students for the future of science, which lies in humane, animal-free research methods.
